Only one thing to do in such a situation: Hand her a packet of beef jerky, and slip away while she’s tearing it open with her teeth.

Hey, I actually have to side with the Rat on this one. Met a girl several years ago that was drop dead gorgeous, but her laugh was like a dying horse. Freaky…

“Tee hee”…. she giggles delicately, of course….
Seinfeld did an episode where he dated a woman with a horrible laugh.
And anybody remember Chrissie (Suzanne Somers) on Three’s company, and her annoying snort?

Rat was justified this time. Even Satan occasionally does a good deed….

True, a laugh reveals a lot—sometimes too much—about a person.

Wow, this is a first! I actually sympathize with Rat. . .

Mr. Pastis, you’re too suave to rip off “Friends” or Seinfeld or “Three’s Company,” aren’t you? Glad you quit smoking. The crocs are sounding more and more barrio Latino.

At last! She doesn’t look like me, but that’s my laugh!
Nighthawks Premium Member about 13 years ago
she also has a bad habit of going out on dates with rats

Goat appears surprisingly empahetic with Rat rather than exasperated per normal.

Alms4Thorby about 13 years ago
Reminds me of those Sienfeld break-ups. She had “man-hands” or she was a “close talker”.

@SusanSunshine
Hey! I snort! But I prefer to believe that my snort is as delicate and infectious as your “tee-hee.” = )

So, what does Rat’s laugh sound like?
(I’m assuming that he really doesn’t care. . . .)

One day I was eating lunch at a restaurant and was sitting near a tableful of office workers who were apparently celebrating someone’s birthday. One fellow, whenever anything happened that he thought was funny, would say, “Hyonh. Hyonh. Hyonh. Hyonh. Hyonh.” Always five “hyonhs,” not loud or emotional, just calm and matter of fact. If I’d been single, don’t think I would have wanted to go out with someone who laughed like that.

Only intelligent women laugh at my jokes…

Because cute girls have no one better to date than mice, to the point that mice can complain about them.

Riot.Rat deserves such a woman. She obviously has issues or wouldn’t be dating a rodent!

“Pastis can’t draw cute girls. Even the ones he intends to be cute end up hideous.”
He could learn a thing or two from Frank Cho.

Anyone seen the Monty Python sketch about the joke that was used as a weapon to fight the Germans? Whoever heard it immediately died laughing. Consequently, translating it from English to German was very tricky.

I usually like the strip Stephan, but I think you can do better than ripping off family guy.

I recall a place in Philly called the Rathskeller years ago, but never saw the denizens dating humans.

any girl that laughs like a horse must have the horse teeth.
fatjimi about 13 years ago
She’s a major contaminator and needs to cover her mouth when she laughs.
rgcviper about 13 years ago
And we can’t forget Kitty from “That ’70s Show”, with her occasional snorts followed by the (really) high-pitched laughs..Personally, I thought they were funny. Other people? Probably not so much.

And can we ever forget Sybil Shepherd’s snort-laugh?
jkhandy about 13 years ago
I would think Rats incontinence issue would be a bigger deal breaker.
